The post-Christmas tournament slate in boys prep hockey rolls on this weekend with the 2024 GameSheet Prep Cup. The action begins Friday, and all games will be played at the Rinks at Phillips Exeter in Exeter, NH.

The tournament, which began in 2020, features eight teams — Dexter Southfield, Northwood, St. Andrew’s College, Nichols, Culver Academy, Kimball Union, Mount Saint Charles and Frederick Gunn.

Per usual, there’s likely to be plenty of professional and college scouts in attendance looking at each team’s top players.

In last year’s edition of the tournament, Culver took down St. Andrew’s, 4-3, in a shootout. Dexter Southfield and Frederick Gunn skated to a 2-2 tie in the third-place game.

Entering this season’s tournament, KUA already has some hardware to its name after winning the Flood-Marr before the break. Nichols is coming off a third-place finish at last week’s Nichols-Belmont Hill tournament. They also tied for fifth at the Lawrenceville Invitational.

Dexter placed fifth at Cushing’s Watkins New Year’s Invitational last week. They finished tied for seventh at the Groton/Lawrence Holiday Tournament, too. Meanwhile, St. Andrew’s took down Northwood for third at the Kevin Mutch tournament. Frederick Gunn is coming off a seventh-place finish at the Avon Old Farms Christmas Classic.
